lfred Placeres didn’t realize how overwhelmed he was going to be by Retratos: 2,000 Years of Latin American Portraits until he walked through the doors of New York City’s El Museo del Barrio during the exhibition’s December premiere. The president of the New York State Federation of Hispanic AChambers of Commerce attended the opening celebration with his wife and daughter, a sophomore in college. “We were in awe,” Placeres says. “My daughter was pulling me from portrait to portrait — she was giving me an art lesson.” One of Placeres’ favorite parts of the Retratos exhibition was that its approximately 115 paintings and sculptures originate from more than 15 Latin American countries. “The mix of Hispanics in the room on opening night refl ected the mix of artists,” says Placeres, calling that integration an unusual occurrence. “The exhibition managed to bring everyone together under one roof.” Exhibition visitors were seeing works never before presented in the United States, on loan from private collections and institutions around the world. Featured artists include Diego Rivera (Mexico), José Campeche (Puerto Rico), Fernando Botero (Colombia) and Lasar Segall (Brazil). Joining Placeres at the opening celebration was Alejandra Naranjo. Naranjo, the executive vice president of Vision Mexico — a not-for-profi t organization that promotes the fi ght against extreme poverty in Mexico and supports the development of Mexican Americans through education, health and community programs — was just as impressed. “It was remarkable to see that the Retratos exhibition was able to gather such renowned masterpieces,” Naranjo says. Those masterpieces are divided into fi ve chronological sections: • Precolumbian, featuring ceramic vessels bearing striking portraits from the Moche of ancient Peru. • Viceregal, featuring portraits of viceroys and archbishops dramatizing the parallel power of church and state. • Independence, featuring portraits of secular leaders and families. • Modern, featuring self-portraits (autoretratos), which became popular in the 20th century. • Contemporary, featuring works by Latin American and Latino artists exploring issues such as gender, class and ethnic identity in portraiture. The Retratos national tour includes fi ve stops through 2006. Innovative educational initiatives and community outreach programs are planned for each 13

venue, including guided tours, hands-on workshops and family days. One activity is a traveling trunk packed with period costumes inspired by the clothing pictured in the exhibit. Children are invited to dress up and pose for digital-camera portraits, which they can then take home. The costumes help students explore the concept of creating one’s identity through clothing choices, and they inspire the children to look closer at portraits for clues that detail the lives of the subjects and the time periods in which they lived. Indeed, there is much to learn about art and history from these breathtaking portraits. For patrons wanting to spend more time examining them — and for people who won’t get a chance to visit the exhibition in person — a Web site (www.retratos.org) provides additional images and content, presented in English and Spanish. In fact, all aspects of the Retratos exhibition are bilingual. The Retratos project is made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, for which Vision Mexico’s Naranjo is thankful: “It is gratifying that a company such as Ford is working to promote Latin American art in this way.”
